We focus on one-off projects like cutting-edge, innovative new construction, challenging remodels and additions as well as home service – all of which require exacting work with impeccable attention to detail. The culture at Dowbuilt is one of care. Care for our people, care for our clients, care for the craftsmen we partner with - all resulting in care for the incredible designs we bring to life. While our employees’ skill level and experience vary from entry level to mastery, all share an inspiring work ethic and passion for the build.

Our foremen are bags-on lead carpenters, who are detail-oriented and can maintain an effective job site while communicating with precision and clarity daily. Successful candidates will get into the plans to execute carpentry work from frame to finish, do layout, show an aptitude for leadership, build positive relationships and demonstrate a willingness to go above and beyond to ensure that the design intent and project goals are met.

We hire for the long-term- offering interesting work and career advancement opportunities in a number of great locations. If you are a “bags on” foreman that thrives on unique, crafted projects, feel accomplished getting it done right, and sees the “problem” as an opportunity, we would love to hear from you.
